[SmokeyTheLung]

These look great, can't wait

[cichlidfan]

Did you notice that the previewed chart is a Visual Approach/Departure Chart?

 

;)

 

I sure did, where do I send a check!:D Looking forward to it very much.

 

Thanks again for the other charts, love them too!:thumbup:

[Kaiza]

Hi all

 

I'm sorry for this question, but it would be great if someone could explain me (just shortly) what exactly are Ground Charts and how do I have to use them in DCS A-10C. Of course, the A-10C is not my first flight simulation, but I have never worked with the GC in any other simulation.

what are they? -- useful :D (kidding).

Those cards provide detailed information according to Taxiways, Parking Positions, Runways Radio Frequencies, ILS Freqs, TACAN Freqs and much more.

 

How to use? ---

example...if you are playing in SP and you ask for permission to taxi to runway, then the tower will give you a certain Runway to take of from. Now you can use the charts to find your taxiways to the respective Runway, without always go to the map and so on.

Once you return to the Airfield you know on which Runway you can land again

 

Only some of the use, there´s for sure much more

Schleudersitz these are fantastic charts and really well made.

It must have taken you a long time.

Thank you very much.

 

I would rep you but it won't let me...

 

PS - Tskhakaya (UGST) is now Senaki-Kolkhi (UGKS)

In aprox. 1 week there will be a reworked version which fixes some minor issues, like the one you mentioned.

Status update VAD-Charts:

 

The basic work is done. Now we're starting the fine-tuning. The initial map template we used was fit together from two 1:100.000 ME-Map screenshots (@1920x1080). As the detail-level turned out to be too low, we decided to re-work them all with 1:50.000 screenshots. Now in 1:50.000 scale you need to merge eight screenshots for each airfield. This work is half done.

 

So while a lot is already done, we still have some stuff to do. I hope you will find it been worth waiting for once you have the charts on your table.

 

EDIT: Added a 1:100.000 and a 1:50.000 template of Krymsk, so you can see the differences. (1:50.000 shot is scaled down in quality so it comes from 7.7mb to 1.8mb)

Thanks for the update. Looks great.:thumbup:

 

Already printed and bound.

A well equiped home office is a wonderful thing!:P

[Laud]

Don't worry, the update mainly focused on smaller issues to be fixed, like new airbase names according to V1.1.0.9.

 

The previous version remains widely compatible.

Nevermind...

Status update:

 

Currently we're adding the terrain elevation lines. After that we'll add objects like antennas or lighthouses and all the other stuff that is relevant for the pilot due to their elevation above the ground or their useability as visual navigation reference objects. After that the charts will be given to our squadron members for internal testing. After fixing everything that might appear, they'll be ready to go.

Good news!

 

Excellent charts chaps!

[cichlidfan]

Looking forward to seeing the final product. Thanks for the update.:thumbup:
